Since its inception, over 48000 students have graduated from IIT Delhi in
various disciplines including Engineering, Physical Sciences, Management and
Humanities & Social Sciences. Of these, nearly 5070 received Ph.D. degrees. The
number of students who graduated with B.Tech. degree is over 15738. The rest
obtained master’s degree in Engineering, Sciences and Business Administration.
These alumni today work as scientists, technologists, business managers,
academics and entrepreneurs. We are proud to have several alumni who have
diversified away from their original disciplines and currently work in
administrative services, active politics and civil society. In doing so, they have
contributed significantly to building of this nation, and to knowledge
production and civic life around the world.
Though India has developed some policy research capacity in academic and
other institutions, the predominant focus of such capacity remained limited to
social and economic dimensions. Policy analysis on STI has remained relatively
underdeveloped (at least in relation to the need). STI policy analysis, as exists in
India today, remains relatively underserved in many pressing areas of concern.
Therefore, in the Indian context (as in most other developing countries), such
policy analytical expertise is much needed, given the enormous breadth of
issues facing policy makers. It also is particularly important to locate such
analytical activities in academic institutions to enhance independent research
capacity, to engage students on such issues, and to eventually develop a cadre
of young policy analysts and practitioners with strong disciplinary moorings but
with the ability to think broadly.
The SPP has a rapidly growing faculty, with a pedagogical and research focus
on the following thematic areas: Energy and Environment; Agriculture, Food and
SPP strengthens IIT Delhi’s position as a uniquely impactful institution in the
country and enhances the education of its students, its research and outreach
activities, as well as emerging programs such as those involving innovation and
entrepreneurship. Situated in the heart of New Delhi, SPP has unique access to
the national policy-making environment, which brings us many interesting
projects and opportunities.
